Hi T.I.P,

There's 2 points of reference for this data.

1. Accessing the media items directly (ie. /movie/550)
2. Accessing a media item from a list (ie. search, now playing etc...)

The nightly popularity job for movies is usually finished by around ~6:00 AM UTC.

For #1, remember the media end points are currently cached for 6 hours so depending on when the item was stored in the cache is when it will be purged. These times will be different for every item.

For #2, these methods are not cached and will reflect the updated popularity values as soon as they've been saved. All values are saved by 6:00 AM UTC.

I usually access the media items directly, so I will reload my database list every day around -6 AM UTC. If I count correctly, it makes midday in Central European time. Thanks!

Yup, no problem.

Sorry for re-opening it but I am working on it and having some issues.

Is there a possibility to access updated list at the certain time (6:00 AM) from /discover/? Or is the data continuously cached as well?

I realized I can't access the data which is cached with different update times as I need to copy IDs of popular movies to my database. And, obviously, I don't want to do this every time the page is loaded.

Thanks!

Hi T.I.P,

/discover falls into group #2, so they are not cached. There's no ID based query for discover, but if the results can be found in a way discover supports, you bet, got for it.

Thanks! Closing now :-)
